Manfred Mann's Earth Band You Are - I Am
YOU ARE - I AM
------------------------------------------
You are, you are,
You are the moment Martha's madman came out of darkness,
You are the eyeglass of the nearly, nearly blind,
You are the footprint in the sand of Easter island,
You are the fusion in the furnace of the sun.
I am the captain cried across the lonely sea,
I am and I'll be what I'll be,
I am the soldier sang across the lonely field,
I am and I'll do whatever I feel.
You are the time between solar fire and the silence,
You are the last chord in the symphony of the lost,
You are the sign between the high road and the low road,
You are the pen in the moving hand of time.
You are the last post played by the Alamo soldier,
You are a spaceman at the very edge of time,
You are the single shaft of sunlight in the night time,
You are the coolness in the very heat of the fire.
You are the moment Martha's madman came out of darkness,
You are the eyeglass of the nearly, nearly blind,
You are, you are
WAITING FOR THE RAIN
(Falcon) Published by BMG Music Pub.Ltd.
Waiting for the rain,
Waiting for the rain,
You told me you were gonna make it,
You told me you were gonna win,
And I believed it was true,
Yes I believed, I believed in you.
There you go running through the alleys,
Can't you see you're waiting for the rain,
Look at you now wondering what you could be,
You've had all the hard luck you can handle,
Can't you see you're slipping down again.
And I believed it was true,
Yes I believed, I believed in you.
There you go, you're running through the fire,
Can't you see you're near the danger zone,
Look at you now, hiding from the sunshine,
You've had all the hard luck you can handle,
Can't you see you're slipping down again.
You deserve the sunshine and not the rain,
You deserve the rainbow, you've had enough pain,
I wanna see you win and get it all,
Hey, I never wanna see you fall.
Can't you see you're waiting for the rain,
Can't you see...
Waiting for the rain...
Waiting for the rain...
Waiting for the rain...
